One day I was a happy man I know/ that day was a long long time ago//
Stay with me/ until then/ I cant make it through the night my friend/ this crushing weight/ pulls me down/ I feeling my body falling to the ground/
wake me up/ from this dream/ I am falling but I cant free/ from my pain/ it eats me up/ cant figure out what in life I want//
One day I was a happy man I know/ that day was a long long time ago//
then one day/ i looked back/ saw all the destruction in my path/ how could i/ break so much/ bulldozed every single life i touched/ wait for me/ please slow down/ I just want to keep my feet on the ground/ please let me/ be your friend/ maybe I wont screw this up in the end//
one day ill be a happy man i know/ maybe that or Ill end up all alone/ one day ill be a happy man/ one day ill be a happy man/ one day ill be the happiest man I know//
